Happy Pride, and happy Indigenous History Month! To celebrate, among CBC Gem's new arrivals for June are the specially curated Pride Collection and Indigenous Stories Collection, which spotlight diverse Canadian voices in gripping documentaries, award-winning series and much more. As always with our dear Canadian streamer, everything is free to watch.
In the Indigenous Stories Collection, you can catch the Lily Gladstone-narrated documentary Bring Them Home / Aiskótáhkapiyaaya, Season 2 of entrepreneurial competition series Bears' Lair, and family drama film Rosie. To ring in Pride, also check out Seasons 1 and 2 of Tig Notaro's semi-autobiographical comedy series One Mississippi, historical docuseries Pride, romantic drama Man in an Orange Shirt, and comedy matchmaking series Settle Down.
This month additionally brings new instalments in the documentary series The Nature of Things and Absolutely Canadian. If you spent some days in June 2023 watching countdowns of depleting oxygen on the OceanGate Titan submersible, then The Nature of Things's Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster might be of interest to you. Or, if you're after Canadian-themed content, learn about the first-ever Wolastoq ballet, for which none other than Jeremy Dutcher wrote the music, in one of the new Absolutely Canadian episodes.
See CBC Gem's schedule below, and see all of June's new streaming offerings (including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and more) here.
